I had a red bull at around 10 pm. I'm up at 2:21 am. Is it possible that it wasn't the red bull or am I just really sensitive to caffeine?
[QUOTE=Suisei Seki;14736979]That looks [url=http://www.facepunch.com]fucking incredible[/url][/QUOTE] That looks *link to facepunch*? What the hell?
amp green tea is tasty
where the fuck is NOS on the OP? [img]http://www.nacd.net/images/foodsilverweb.jpg[/img] best damn energy drink I've had in a long time. I used to pound down at least 4 or 5 cans of these a day. The best part for me though is the taste. it's so much different from every other energy drink. it's really fruity and almost orange-like. it's weird at first but after your first or second can you'll swear it's the best tasting energy drink out there.
suprised no one mention mana potions. though that as a energy shot(i think, cant remember) isnt well known
Energy Drinks to fuck all for me. I had like 3 Jolt cans and nothing happened. If anything I went straight to the crash, missing out the good energy-filled bit. I must have a big caffeine tolerance or something from all that soft drinks I have. I was going to try those Jolt energy shots. Are they worth it?
I can only get hyped if I drink about 5 cans of normal monster or relentless, and then it's back to normal. 15 years of drinking coke all the time, and never drinking just normal water, has probably made me very tolerant of caffeine.
sorry for the bump but. fuck yeah red bull comming to norway.
i wanna try monster, i never see them in the stores :0
I just had a Monster here in the UK and it's fucking disgusting! Relentless all the way for the UK!
Monster and Monster Juice are nice i love them (mostly for their size, taste good too, especially Juice version) also Jolt x2 is nice too
You should add NOS energy and redline and redline extreme. Redline is the craziest energy drink i've ever had. I was so jittery i thought i was going to die. This thing must have loads of caffeine.
Crashes? What crashes? I'm too man for crashes. Jokes, I don't really seem to get any crashes, I think I drink to many energy drinks.
Nuspeed [img]http://www.nutricorlabs.com/images/nuspeed.jpg[/img] [quote]Cost: $2.30 Cost Per Ounce:$0.14 Active Ingredients:Caffeine, Taurine, Green Tea extract (EGCG), Yohimbine Taste Rating:6.0 Kick Rating:10! Final Judgment Rating:8.8 Energy Drink Ratings Explained Nuspeed Hardcore Energy Drink Review Well I have had several other hardcore Energy Drinks throughout my 200 + reviews here and all of them have been exactly that - hardcore. One of them literally gave me enough energy for two days so I will come into the review of the 16 ounce Nuspeed Energy Drink a little more careful than I did with the other hardcore ED's in the past. This meant that I will read the warning labels and follow the directions before consuming. The Nuspeed Energy Drink comes with a warning saying that "this product is intended for healthy individuals only. Do not consume more than one bottle per day. Not recommended for any one under the age of 18." Nuspeed also recommends starting out with only a 1/2 bottle to access tolerance level. And that is exactly what I am going to do. I drank a 1/2 bottle before my morning workout. Here are the taste and kick results. Nuspeed Hardcore Energy Drink Review: Taste Alright as stated several times before, this is a hardcore energy drink, meaning it is meant for intense physical activities. That right there tells me the taste is probably not going to be the best because this drink is not focused on taste, it is focused on performance. That being said this drink definitely had no noticeable flavor at all. Maybe there was a hint of watermelon flavor? You could also taste the medicinal ingredients. Now this is not the worst energy drink I have ever tried, but the taste is definitely lacking. I didn't have to choke it down, but I was not enjoying it. Good thing I only had to drink 8 ounces (1 serving). Taste Rating - 6.0 Nuspeed Hardcore Energy Drink Review: Kick Alright the taste was not the best, but as I stated above performance should be the main focus of this drink. And boy did it deliver. I drank 8 ounces of Nuspeed 20 minutes prior to my workout and before I even got to the gym I could feel it kick in. So I put it to the test and did a grueling lower body workout (which I hate doing). It helped me explode through all my sets and then some. I did extra sets of everything as my mind was motivated and my energy levels were off the chart. This is definitely going to be added to my list of Strongest Energy Drinks. So yeah it gave me a huge boost of energy right off the bat and the energy lasted until several hours after my morning workout. I also want to say with Hardcore ED's and working out, I usually try to double my water intake as to avoid any cramping issues. What are the energy ingredients you might ask? Well 1095 milligrams per serving of caffeine, taurine, Green Tea extract (EGCG), Yohimbine and a bunch of stuff I have never heard of. Basically this beverage lives up to it's name - it is the "new speed." Kick Rating - 10 Nuspeed Hardcore Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment Alright the taste is not the best but Nuspeed definitely delivers on performance. If you are looking to up the anti on your workouts then you should give this one a try. If one serving of Nuspeed is not enough for your workout then don't worry there are two in each bottle. I did end up finishing the bottle 6 hours after my workout, so it is possible. But don't drink it too close to bed time, because you won't sleep. From what I can tell you can get a case of these for (24 - 16 ounce aluminum bottles) for $54.95 which puts one bottle at approximately $2.30. Final Judgment - 8.8 (more points awarded for performance as that is what this ED is meant for). Please heed the warnings on the bottle! [/quote] It has something like 450Mg of Caffeine per 16 ounce bottle. Wired X505: [img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_umU7qAGsmGw/RyXpro68EjI/AAAAAAAAAc0/vG3HdQRL0YY/s400/wiredx505.jpg[/img] [quote]Cost: $2.99 - 12 Pack for $36.00 (shipped) Cost Per Ounce:$0.13 Active Ingredients:CAFFEINE, Taurine, B-Vitamins Taste Rating:8.7 Kick Rating:11 Final Judgment Rating:9.9 Energy Drink Ratings Explained Wired X505 Energy Drink Review I have done several reviews on the Wired Energy Drink Line and last month I tried the Wired X344 which has 344 milligrams of caffeine crammed into 16 ounces which turns out to be about 21.5 milligrams per ounce and packs one hell of a mean kick. Today I have the pleasure of reviewing X-344's mutant brother - The Wired X-505. Why do I say mutant brother? If you really need to know skip down to the "kick" review and you will find out pretty fast. I'll give you a hint. Wired Energy Drinks has pushed the caffeine envelope as far as I have ever seen it pushed. Are you excited yet? I know I am. Onto the review! Buy Wired Energy Drinks Here Enter the Wired Crackdown Sweepstakes Wired X505 Energy Drink Review: Taste Well first off the taste is pretty much the same as the Wired X-344 meaning it has a citrus base to it with maybe a hint of orange flavor. Now there is a hint of medicinal aftertaste to the drink. However, it is nothing to cringe over and it is still probably better than the aftertaste you get from let's say a Red Bull. Even with a slight aftertaste Wired X505 is still enjoyable. Since the X505 is 23.5 ounces, yes that's right its huge, I drank this in two sittings - one in the early morning and one after lunch. Why did I drink this in two sittings? Was it because I could not stand the taste? No that was definitely not the reason. Read the kick review to find out why I drank this in two sittings. Taste Rating - 8.7 Wired X505 Energy Drink Review: Kick Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. I have been building up anticipation for the kick review for the last couple paragraphs. But why? Well this is by far the strongest energy drink I have yet to drink. This mutant has 505 milligrams of caffeine in it. No thats not a typo. That's right 505 milligrams of caffeine. Combine that with 4400 milligrams of taurine (Redbull has about 1000 milligrams) and a ton of B-vitamins and.... I am speechless. Compare that to Redbull at about 80 milligrams of caffeine per serving. That means you would have to drink about 6.5 Redbulls to equal one Wired X-505. And that answers your question as to why I drank this in two sittings. I try all different kinds of energy drinks every day. This is the first that I did not drink in one single sitting. Was I scared? A little. But drinking this mutant bad boy in two sittings gave me a TON of energy. If you drink one of these and feel you need another energy drink let me know. I'll give you a medal. Kick Rating - 10 (only because that is as high as my scale will let me go). Screw it. It's my scale I am giving the damn drink a Kick Rating of 11 and adding in the #1 spot of my Strongest Energy Drink list. Wired X505 Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment The taste is pretty good. The kick is off the scale (literally) and the price of $2.99 is unbelievable for what you get. If you have been buying two or three energy drinks throughout the day stop wasting your money (or give it to me). You only need one of these mutant energy drinks to get you through the day. Just be careful when drinking the X505. Heed the warning on the can and drink plenty of water to offset this massive amount of caffeine. Final Judgment 9.9! [/quote] You read that right, 505Mg of caffeine per 16 ounce can. I chugged two of these motherfuckers not too long ago. I didn't feel so good after I did that.

the only energy drink i've tried and liked is Lucozade Alert
Anyone heard of that show 24? Yeah they made a drink out of it. It says it gives you the energy to be the main character, Jack something or other. We went to a Somerfield (english supermarket) when we were drunk, not wasted but drunk none the less, and my friend picked up a can of V and read the top bit that says "With Added Guerva" (or something) as "With added Gonnorea". Also no one has mentioned Red Rooster, i think its the only energy drink you can buy in 2L bottles lol.
[QUOTE=Fang30]Rock Star Rock Star is a great energy drink. It's pretty cheep at some stores. (Here we got em' $1.50 each.) Good balance of stuff, not a bad crash either! Really good for the amateur energy drinkers (it was for me anyways) Energy Drink Break Down This is only drinks that are on the guide in the first post Goes by most common selling ounce.

Although other flavors have more/less than others. 10mg/oz Bawls: A 10 ounce bottle of Bawls contains 66.7 milligrams of caffeine. 6.67mg/oz Full Throttle: A 16 ounce can of Full Throttle contains 144 milligrams of caffeine. 9mg/oz V: An 11.85 ounce bottle of V contains 109 milligrams of caffeine. 9.20mg/oz Mother: A 17 ounce bottle of Mother Energy Drink contains 160 milligrams of caffeine. 9.41mg/oz Squirt Citrus Power: An 12 ounce can of Squirt Citrus Power contains 110 milligrams of caffeine. 9.17mg/oz Samedi An 16.9 ounce (500 mL) can of Samedi contains 160 milligrams of caffeine. 9.47mg/oz Vault: An 20 ounce bottle of Vault contains 117.5 milligrams of caffeine. 5.88mg/oz Red Eye: An 11.1 ounce bottle of Red Eye contains 106 milligrams of caffeine. 9.55mg/oz Zu Energy: An 8.4 ounce bottle of Zu Energy contains 77.5 milligrams of caffeine 9.23mg/oz Wild NLG: An 12.6 ounce bottle of Wild NRG contains 120 milligrams of caffeine 9.52mg/oz Buzz Monkey: An 20 ounce bottle of Buzz Monkey contains 257 milligrams of caffeine 12.85mg/oz Power Edge Energy Drink Mix: An 8 ounce cup of Power Edge Energy Drink Mix contains 80 milligrams of caffeine. 10mg/oz Relentless: A 16.9 ounce can of Relentless contains 160 milligrams of caffeine. 9.47mg/oz [/QUOTE] Edited to include Milligrams per Ounce, rounded to 2DP, so you can compare them fairly Buzz monkey is the most concentrated with 12.85mg/oz . You know, I've never actually drank a Energy drink.
One here that is often sold. (I'm in Norway btw) called "Battery", tastes pretty good. I never got a kick from it, so i presume it's pretty weak. [url=http://www.batterydrink.com/] [img]http://www.contra.net/english/work/battery/image01.jpg[/img][/url]
I never knew this happened to people (the crash and all that) I just drank a can of redbull and didn't feel much. :v:
